JR! Posted October 22, 2015 Author Share Posted October 22, 2015 Ohio......MN aint got nothin. I order all my stuff on line, have been for awhile. There is only one good LFS, and it will suck every dime out of your wallet to get mini colonies of anything. They still charge $125 for BBT. This tank will be awesome. BBT, BTA...lol wow thats nuts man. bta are about 40 here. gonna have to order some stuff from house of sticks asap Link to comment
Giga Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 I love natural sun shots! That last shot is awesome Link to comment
JR! Posted October 23, 2015 Author Share Posted October 23, 2015 I love natural sun shots! That last shot is awesome ive been toying with the idea of an all sun-lite tank when we move. there is something about them Link to comment
Rehype Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 That would be so awesome.... Link to comment
Justind823 Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Yah that would pretty much be the coolest so do that. Glad to see this tank with water in it! Keep on keeping on Link to comment
Bubba30 Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 I'm was going to paint my sump white on the bottom/back then I saw the green acrylic under yours... Looks really cool reflecting on the surface of the water. Maybe I'll go blue on the bottom to match the WS-1 and Vectra plumbing fittings. Need to find a blue gate valve for my herbie too! I'll be following as you fill her up. Off to a good start man. Link to comment
JR! Posted October 23, 2015 Author Share Posted October 23, 2015 The green under the sump is actually a piece of an old yoga mat that my wife want using any more. Blue would be really cool though Link to comment
Bubba30 Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Is the sump tank custom? I know you said a member did the baffles... Link to comment
JR! Posted October 23, 2015 Author Share Posted October 23, 2015 I would say it's custom used to be drilled in the back for what looks to be an overflow and return I'll get some pics Link to comment
JR! Posted October 23, 2015 Author Share Posted October 23, 2015 so this is why i think the sump used to be a display at one time you can see where the back was drilled and patched o and i have been talking to pat@www.fandl8020.com and we are looking to build a aluminum t-slot stand for this tank. with the thought of making a bigger tank down the road too.

Nanofreak79 Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Yeah, the change he has made to the nanobox line is great. It's nice you had a light to start with, get to save a few bucks. I had the original type/style mini, had to use small set screws in the rather large driver box to change the two channels imtensity. Wish I never would have sold it Link to comment

jedimasterben Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 over night though? i cleaned the whole sump 2 days ago Absolutely. It's amazing how much builds up, even with extensive flow and skimming/mechanical filtration. Link to comment
